Problems solved by technology

Therefore, it cannot transmit the blue or green band emission through
Attempts to use a conventional BP layer with a narrow bandgap as a contact layer and arrange it to direct the emission to the outside only lead to the absorption of the emission and the inconvenience of obtaining a high-brightness light-emitting device
